1) With the Elves, it definitely returned. I think this bug is related to the following: the quest to liberate the farms is actually given by the corresponding peasant, and the reputation with humans increases. Moreover, it's unclear how the Elves would give this quest if I had thought to talk to those peasants earlier.
2) When taking the quest for the human city, the console displays: "(Script) Error: Object Nathaniel not exist"
Overall, the situation is as follows:
a) To gain 65 reputation with humans while playing quests with branching paths for the Orcs, you have to do things like: for example, destroy an Orc army in a human castle - otherwise, the battle with the human army is fought alone (I suspect that otherwise, the defeated Orcs would have joined?). So, the "start of a declared war against humans" turns out to be unconventional?
At the same time, the maximum reputation with humans is 60. Another 5 is obtained through a bug - the priest repeats the request for 50,000. Maybe this affects it?
b) As soon as the reputation is gained, the hero is given "Castle Gates," and it is specifically his - if I understand correctly - that needs to be taken. So, when taking the quest "Capture the human city," the script should unlock the path to the "Gates," but it is already unlocked...
By the way, when taking this quest (I assume it's the last one for the Orcs?), my reputation with them is 85. If this quest gives +3 reputation, as usual, where do I get the rest? I think I've "clicked" on absolutely everything related to the Orcs...:smile41:
1) Yes, peasants give the quests. If, at the time the quest is taken, both villages are liberated for the Elf, the quest is immediately marked as completed (at least, it should be) and the reputation with the Elves is awarded. If not, go to the village and talk to the peasants. In this case, the quests of humans and elves are linked to each other.
2) According to my calculations, 65 reputation with humans can be gained without sacrificing reputation with the Orcs. Of course, for this, you need to destroy the Orc squads that would later join. This is the price to pay for getting bonuses with a reputation of 100.
3) The console says that the hero Ellaine (or whatever his name is), who switches to your control with the humans, is missing from the map, i.e., the script cannot find him, and the function stops working. Did you accidentally lose this hero in one of the battles?
4) Yes, the 50,000 is definitely a bug; the quest is completed twice, which shouldn't happen; there is an error in the script.
5) Yes, your reputation would be 88, which means you missed 4 quests somewhere. If you can, send a screenshot with all the completed quests, and I'll tell you which ones were missed.
